Classic Chorizo & Black Bean Quiche Recipe

One the most popular French
cuisine is Quiche recipe. This recipe is mostly
famous in Britain for breakfast
specially, but you can have quiche recipeeven for dinner. It is an open-faced pastry crust with a filling of savory
custard filled with cheese, meat, seafood, or vegetables. In Britain they also
serve this recipe as a party food and it can be consumed cold or hot.

Today I am making an easy quiche recipethat my friend has sent me via
email. I made few changes and added few spices and vegetables to bring more
color and flavors to the food. It got chorizo sausages, diced tomatoes, onion
and black beans. I tried to make this recipe as healthy as possible and instead
of sour cream or any cream, I used Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is healthy and
fat-free but if you don’t like Greek yogurt you can also add skimmed milk into
this recipe.

Note: To make this recipe
healthier; you can also add Asparagus, Spinach, mushrooms etc. the veggies and
topping are absolutely your wish. If you have kids at home such recipes always
help to make them eat the veggies.

The recipe is here –

This recipe can serve up to 6 servings

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients –

9-inch unbaked pastry shell

½ cup chorizo sausage, cooked and finely chopped

½ chopped onion

1 can of diced tomatoes

½ can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 Tbsp. Knorr Chicken flavor Bouillon

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

5-6 eggs

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of ground cumin

ground cumin in a medium bowl and pour into pastry shell. Later sprinkle the
cheese over this mixture. Bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in
center comes out clean.

It’s a fuss-free and fail-proof quiche recipe that you can try at home. Although the
number of calorie is too much in the classic quiche because of heavy cream or
sour cream but if you can replace it with yogurt or milk then it becomes
healthier. There are many simple recipes that you can try like, instead of bacon you can
use ham or chicken. Cooking is all about looking out for some new alternatives
in the recipe and try to come up with something new and interesting each time.
Play with flavors and aroma!
